Full tile at ceiling

[Alan.P]

This is my first go at photos, hope it works. I hope this shows my problems and thanks again for any advice.Broken Link Removed

Hard to really tell, but is that a gap at the top of tile meets ceiling ? if so, how big, and the problem then is that if the ceiling is out of whack your going to end up with all sorts of problems. Again, hard to tell from the pictures, but from a setting out point of view I would probably drop down by about a third of a tile, the bottom of the beam above the window would be top of tile, this would give a nice continuation line around, a nice cut around the bath, cuts to the ceiling and floor to compensate for any differences in levels.

Again, it is hard to tell from pictures

EDIT: oops my bad, didn't look properly at tile to floor, rethink time.

Hello again, how about if i left the tile layout as it is and used a small coving around the top to hide the gap. Does this sound feasible ?.

Hi, I would definitely avoid the coving idea.
I advise that you make the tile above your bath a cut tile, not a whole one. As posted previously this will allow for the bath not being 100% level and will solve the problem with the gap at ceiling height. But plan around the rest of the room, ie, window, toilet, sink etc etc to ensure that you do not need to cut any small slivers of tile in any place, ie, plan ahead.
Read back over the replies already given; there is some good advice here! And ask any questions you like!

my own rule, is i would never have a full tile off a bath or to the ceiling or in a corner, because as most of you say. you do not know if it is plumb, i always try to get the biggest cut to the bath and the ceiling.
but most people have their own way of doing things.
